Nature in Latin American Literature: Crash Course Latin American Literature #3
Subtítulos (154 segmentos)
Welcome to the jungle.
Is it paradise? Or a nightmare?
A place that'll take care of you? Or destroy you?
For centuries, we Latin Americans have recognized Mama Nature’s main character energy.
She can be kind and generous… or dangerous and chaotic.
Sounds like a Pisces, am I right? Anyways…
In literature, Mama Nature doesn’t just spill the tea
about plants and animals, water and rocks.
She represents the wildness of people, too.
So, what can literature about nature tell us about…
Us?
Hi! I'm Curly Velasquez and this is Crash Course Latin American Literature.
[THEME MUSIC]
Let’s start a few millennia ago. Indigenous people knew Mama Nature first, and they knew her well.
The people of the Andes called her Pachamama.
And the “Popol Vuh”
— the collection of sacred narratives of the K’iche people —
namedrops their whole natural neighborhood:
macaws, cacao, coyotes, calabash trees, bromeliads, and jaguarundis.
The Incas of what’s now Peru regarded the sun as an ancestor and a god:
often depicted as a flaming disc with a human face.
And to this day, many Indigenous peoples view the land as physically and spiritually connected to themselves.
It’s not just a bunch of rocks and dirt.
Fast-forward to the late 15th century,
and European colonizers were pretty blown away by the Latin American landscape.
Christopher Columbus praised the Americas for its
“soft breezes, high mountains, and fertile lands.”
Get outta here, Chris!
And the Spanish botanist Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo gushed over everything good to eat there.
Iguana — delicious!
Prickly pear — it’ll turn your pee red!
